If you’ll forgive the horrible pun, it’s happening like clockwork: alongside a new flagship smartphone comes a cool new flip cover. We saw it with the Dot View case on the HTC One M8, the S View Cover on the Samsung Galaxy S 4, and now comes the Quick Circle case for the LG G3.

Not that it’s a total surprise; like most things LG G3, the Quick Circle case leaked ahead of its official announcement, which itself came a while before today’s London reveal of LG’s new flagship. But as is usually the case, getting hands-on time totally altered our perspective … or rather, confirmed our suspicions.

That is to say, the Quick Circle case seems pretty awesome after about twenty minutes of hands-on time. If you’re into retro-futuristic aesthetics. And you’re willing to wait for clever developers to do something great with an as-yet-unreleased SDK.

More on that later in our review period. For now, check out our LG G3 Quick Circle hands-on and first impressions, and check out our LG G3 hands-on while you’re at it. Then stay tuned for much more on the LG G3 from Pocketnow as the longest review season ever rolls ever onward!
